The space is full of supplies, and the little milk bag can't be used up.

"Dad, you're back!" Li Youran greeted him happily. She had already known that her father went out to find the village chief to buy land.

Seeing her father return, she felt relieved.

"Ran'er, your father has told Village Chief Li how to deal with these bamboo shoots. Village Chief Li knows that our family was quite poor in the past, but now we have suddenly become rich. He is bound to have doubts, so..." Father Li had a worried look on his face. As he spoke, he squatted down, not daring to look Li Youran in the eye.

Li Youran actually knew this very well, and she understood that others would become suspicious.

After all, the sudden wealth and abundant spring bamboo shoots in the family are hard not to make associations.

However, there are so many bamboo shoots that it doesn't matter even if he tells the villagers, because he still has the bamboo shoots in the space as a reserve.

"It's okay, Dad. You don't need to blame yourself. Some villagers must have been suspicious for a long time. Now our family is building a house, and everyone is watching! It's not a bad thing to let them know the truth as soon as possible. When September Building in town starts selling fried pork with spring bamboo shoots, the news will naturally spread, and everyone will understand by then." Li Youran comforted his father sympathetically and stretched out his small arms to hug him tightly.

"Yes, that's quite right." Father Li nodded thoughtfully in agreement.

"Dad, stop thinking about it. By the way, Dad, I have something to ask you, can I?" Li Youran almost forgot the important matter and asked quickly.

"Ran'er, what's the urgent matter?"

"Can I ask my uncle's family to come and help? Help deliver the goods to the town. My second brother will need to look after the milk tea shop. My third brother is too young and likes to play, so we can only rely on my second brother." Li Youran thought for a while.

Father Li needs to take care of the house construction and cannot be away.

Ye is responsible for making fire and cooking, and if the aunt comes, she can also help Ye with the work.

Father Li thought about it and realized that there were indeed not enough people at home.

"You can hire them. How much do you plan to pay them per day? The highest wage in town right now is only thirty-five coins a day, which is more than one tael of silver a month."

Father Li thought that if he asked them to help at home, they would inevitably discover his daughter's secret, and he was also worried that outsiders would know. Even though he was his own eldest brother, Father Li was somewhat distrustful.

At this time, Li Youran said, "Dad, give them fifty coins a day. If both uncle and aunt come to work, they can earn three taels of silver a month! What do you think, Dad?"

You know, this price is not low. I'm afraid you can only get so much in Beijing!

Father Li nodded in agreement, but then frowned and asked worriedly, "But what if they betray Ran'er?"

Li Youran quickly comforted him, "Dad, don't worry, I know how to read faces. My aunt and uncle are from peasant families, just like us, and they are kind and honest by nature. Moreover, we are offering such high wages, and as long as they work hard, there will be opportunities for salary increases in the future! This is just a temporary treatment."

In fact, Li Youran knew very well that his uncle and his family were all kind-hearted people.

But my second uncle was different. He married the daughter of a merchant, so he naturally didn't care about the mere fifty cents in wages.

"Ran'er is still very thoughtful." Father Li looked at his daughter with satisfaction.

"Dad, why don't we go and discuss it with my uncle right now? We have to go to town tomorrow." Li Youran suggested directly, as they really were short of people.

"Okay, let's go now, and then Ran'er can tell them." Father Li picked up Li Youran and went straight to Li Yanqiang's house.

Li Yanqiang's house is not far from his own home. It has three thatched houses, which are not much different from his own.

Father Li knocked on the gate gently, and the sound echoed in the quiet little village.

At this moment, Li Yanqiang was sitting in the main room with a sad face, calculating his income this year.

Because of his second son's affairs, he has already lost a lot of money and owes a lot of debts outside. He is thinking about how to repay them.

Just then, there was another knock on the door, bringing Li Yanqiang, who was lost in thought, back to reality.

He slowly stood up, walked out of the main room, and opened the gate with full of doubts.

When he saw that it was Mr. Li and his daughter standing at the door, Li Yanqiang couldn't help but feel a little surprised and asked, "Yan Hong, how come you have time to come to see me today?"

Father Li held his daughter in his arms, his lips moved slightly, as if he wanted to express something, but in the end he did not speak. He just signaled to Li Yanqiang with his eyes, as if he hoped to go into the house to discuss something.

Li Yanqiang immediately understood what he meant and let the two men into the yard without hesitation.

After entering the yard, they went straight to the main room and sat down.

Li Youran looked around curiously and found that this place was not much different from his own home, just as poor and simple.

Li Yanqiang's eyes stayed on Li Youran for a long time. He thought with deep emotion that he hadn't seen this child for a long time, and now she has grown into such a beautiful girl.

Li Youran also looked at Li Yanqiang carefully, and secretly sighed in his heart, it turned out that his grandparents must have looked good when they were young, otherwise how could everyone in the family be so handsome, especially his own father, who was somewhat similar to the uncle in front of him.

"Just call her Youran. If you have anything to say, just talk to your uncle directly." Li Yanqiang looked at the lovely Li Youran and his previous worries disappeared. He felt much better. It turned out that daughters are the most lovable, but he happened to have two sons.

"Hello, uncle. I came here this time to ask you and aunt to come to my house to help. My family is doing business recently and we are short of manpower..."

Li Youran called out sweetly and then explained the general whole story.

That baby voice melted Li Yanqiang's heart, and he felt a little jealous of his third brother.

"Oh?" Li Yanqiang was a little surprised. He knew that his third brother's family had started building a house, but he didn't expect that they had already started doing business.

"The daily wage is fifty cents, and there is one day off every week, but you will still get paid on that day. There are also bonuses during the Chinese New Year, and you can take a day off with your wages. There are also bonuses and wages during festivals... If you do a good job in the future, your wages will increase. What do you think, uncle?" Li Youran listed a long list of things related to wages, and explained them clearly.

Li Yanqiang initially thought that he would be satisfied with the usual thirty-five cents wages, but he did not expect it to be fifteen cents more.

Li Yanqiang didn't say anything for a long time, and just stood there in a daze, forgetting what to say.

"Brother, what are you thinking about?" Father Li reminded, thinking that Li Yanqiang was thinking.

"Uh... cough cough, okay, when can I go to work?" Li Yanqiang came to his senses and coughed a few times to ease the embarrassment.

"Tomorrow morning, go with my father to go through the process." When Li Youran heard that his uncle had agreed, he arranged to go with his father.
